books

I was wondering what kind of clothes ASOS would have in their Valentine’s gift guide but I was surprised to see a bunch of quirky products besides just clothes. Actually, their selection was pretty spot on. I kind of want most of the products for myself. So I went ahead and rounded up my favorite gifts from their guide below. Enjoy!

I recently read the book Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. If you haven’t read it, I totally recommend that you do. It is an easy page turner that will keep you hooked to the very end. If you are not a fan of reading, you can check out the movie starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tyler Perry. It stays pretty close to the book and does a great job of portraying the characters and atmosphere. The movie is directed by David Fincher who also directed the TV show House of Cards, The Social Network, and Fight Club. *Side note: I Cannot wait for the third season of House of Cards to air this February! Yay!*

As I was saying, I read the book and was so pumped that I immediately watched the movie. In last scene the main character wears a gorgeous collared dress. It was a good idea to watch the movie because this dress became my new obsession. I searched for the Alice + Olivia Courtnee Combo Cuff Dress but it was sold out everywhere. However, instead of fretting (or going the ebay route) I decided to find similar dresses; and I am happy with my results.

This is the actual dress used in the movie. My favorite part is the back of the dress. Contrast cuffs and a fold-over collar lend a polished look to a fitted alice + olivia dress. The exposed zip cuts a clean line down the layered back. Long sleeves.

Now that they are going off on their own. It’s time to help them learn financial responsibility and budgeting skills. Hopefully, you can steer them away from the dreaded college credit card debt we all racked up. When all those shiny cards started showing up in the mail and you didn’t think about the interest rate and paying them back. This imaginative week-by-week journal invites you to consider all of your purchases, prioritize your financial goals, celebrate the occasional splurge, and revel in the moments when you resist an impulse buy.

Most musician’s get by without a music stand, but once they receive this gift they will wonder why they never invested in one. It makes practicing easier and it helps you to focus and what you are working on. No more strained necks because you have your music sheets propped up on the bed. This tool will separate the dabblers from the serious musician.

You can’t replace the feeling of sitting at a typewriter and feeling the weight of each key like a true writer. The upside of using a USB typewriter vs. a real typewriter is you save a bunch of trees and editing your work is much easier. Just pull up your latest draft on Word and type away your editor’s suggestions or not. Ignore your editor, keep going in the direction you were thinking from the start. The usbtypewriter Etsy shop has got you covered in that front.
